Damn, I just resumed reading all chapters from 175 up to 187, and just my luck, just when things start to get INTERESTING... I run out of chapters!!

FINALLY, with Fate and his party back, Team Negi can finally get SERIOUS again and reveal the fruits of their training. I really didn't like the Festival Arc, since Chao was not actually a true "antagonist", and she wasn't really "evil".

So, now it's back to the magic/action arcs, and it couldn't have happened sooner!

That's true, Chao wasn't really that evil cuz she was try to change the future, hope it will be better than the time where she come from...

That is correct. Unless we return to the schedule of having the new chapters come out on Saturday (which I doubt will happen after the sting that happened a few months ago), there's no chapter of Negima this week.

Since I haven't seen the previous two chapters, I don't know what's going on...

I see Fate, Tsukuyomi, and a shadow mage.

Fate's attacks are constantly blocked, but in the end, he finished what he came here to do.

Cutting to the chase

Spoiler for Chapters 186 and 187:

Chapter 186: Negi and his crew arrive at Magic Country. While Chisame, Chachamaru are busy looking admiring the Magic Country skyline, the rest, while clearing their weapons, are faced with two problems:

1. The Sports Girls have somehow sneaked into the gateway;
2. Fate, realizing that Negi is sensing his presence, drives a stone spear right through his his right ribs.

Chapter 187: Basic chapter in which Fate reveals himself and his crew are introduced (setting up their fight for later in the arc).

Man, gotta love Konoka sexy healing spell
Also Fate seems likes he really wants to end everything quickly, and the unknow sword-girl i suppose it's Tsukoyomi
Library trio are becoming useless just staring at Fate and watching how Negi's going to get killed

Looks like we're in for another downtime period while the party regroups now - I suppose it's as good a time as any for whoever ends up with the Sports Girls to brief them on the current situation.

Spoiler for Chapter 189:

Downtime period is an understatement: the events of chapter 189 suggests that we're starting another "Eight Days Later" type arc that, unless it results in either showing some new techniques for the White Wings or Pactios with at least one Sports girl, will end up providing unneccessary padding to the story.

...and people wonder why Fate is my least-favorite character in Negima.

Agreed.

Spoiler for ch. 189:

I'd be more surprised if the Sports Girls don't all make Pactios with Negi at this point. They're miles from civilisation, and Negi obviously wants to catch up to Fate and tangle with him again; sending the stowaways home isn't an option anymore, so they - and the rest of the party - will be safer with a bit more power behind them.

At any rate, I hope everyone at least got broken up into interesting combinations; if all we're getting is dialogue, it had better be entertaining.
